Program Monitoring: (How will you aggregate or
compile your evidence into a class or group view?)
I will be able to refer back to students thoughts and
ideas that are on the two word walls/large pieces of
paper. I will be able to hang both of the large pieces
of paper around the room so that they are visible to
all students. This will be helpful for students to refer
back to as well as a way for students to refresh their
memory when needed. I will also display artwork of
the students around the room after they are
completed and dried.
